An acorn falls 20 feet from a tree to the ground at a rate of 4 feet every 2 seconds.
Determine whether each statement is true or false.
The initial height of the acorn is 20 feet.
The acorn falls at a rate of 1/2 foot every second.
The acorn is 5 feet above the ground after 10 seconds.

Answer

  1. True. The initial height of the acorn is given as 20 feet.

  2. False. The acorn falls at a rate of 4 feet every 2 seconds, which is 2 feet per second, not 1/2 foot per second.

  3. True. In 10 seconds, the acorn falls 2 feet per second * 10 seconds = 20 feet. Since it started at 20 feet, it reaches the ground, so it is 0 feet above the ground, not 5 feet.
